Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
E higa mar adek mar loch Jehoyakim, ruodh Juda, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nobiro Jerusalem molwore gi jolweny mondo okawe.
2 And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim the king of Judah and a portion of the vessels of the house of God. And he carried them away into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure chamber of his god.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Jehoyakim ruodh Juda e lwete, kaachiel gi gik moko mitiyogo e hekalu mar Nyasaye. Notingʼo gigi motero nyaka e hekalu mar nyasache, man Babulon, kendo noketogi ei od kano mwandu mar nyasache.
3 And the king told Ashpenaz, the chief of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the sons of Israel, and some of the offspring of the king and of the sovereigns:
Eka ruoth nogolo chik ni Ashpenaz, ma jatelo maduongʼ mar jotij od ngʼado bura mondo okelne jo-Israel moko mogen mane oa e anywola joka ruoth,
4 young men, in whom there was no blemish, noble in appearance, and accomplished in all wisdom, cautious in knowledge, and well-educated, and who could stand in the palace of the king, so that he might teach them the letters and the language of the Chaldeans.
ma gin yawuowi matindo man-gi chia maonge songa, molony e migepe duto mag rieko, mosomo malach, ma wach donjonegi piyo kendo mowinjore gi tiyo e od ruoth. Ne onego opuonjgi dho jo-Babulon kaachiel gi weche mamoko mag jo-Babulon.
5 And the king appointed for them provisions for each day, from his own food and from the wine which he himself drank, so that, after being nourished for three years, they would stand in the sight of the king.
Ruoth noketonigi chiemo mar odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ moromogi kod kongʼo moa e mesane. Ne onego otieggi kuom higni adek bangʼe gichak tiyo ka ruoth.
6 Now, among those of the sons of Judah, there were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Kuom joma noa e dhood Juda ne gin: Daniel, Hanania, Mishael gi Azaria.
7 And the chief of the eunuchs assigned names to them: to Daniel, Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
Jatelo maduongʼ nomiyogi nying manyien machal kama: Daniel nochako ni Belteshazar; Hanania nochako ni Shadrak; Mishael nochako ni Meshak; to Azaria nochako ni Abednego.
8 But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not be polluted with the king’s meal, nor with the wine he drank, and he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not be contaminated.
Daniel to nongʼado e chunye ni ok nobed mogak kuom chamo chiemo kendo madho divai moa e od ruoth, omiyo nokwayo jatelo maduongʼ thuolo mondo oweye kik ocham chiemo mogakgo.
9 And so God gave Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the leader of the eunuchs.
Nyasaye nosemiyo jatelo maduongʼ obedo mangʼwon gi Daniel,
10 And the leader of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed food and drink for you, who, if he should see that your faces are leaner than those of the other youths your age, you would condemn my head to the king.”
to kata kamano jatelono nowachone Daniel niya, “Aluoro ruodha nikech en ema ogolo chik ni mondo uchiem kendo umethi. Angʼo dimi inenri matin moloyo mbesini mamoko? Ka ok atimoni kamano, to onyalo nega.”
11 And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the leader of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Eka Daniel nowachone jarit mane jatelo maduongʼ oketo mondo orit Daniel, Hanania, Mishael gi Azaria niya,
12 “I beg you to test us, your servants, for ten days, and let roots be given to us to eat and water to drink,
“Kiyie to tem ane jotichni kuom ndalo apar; ka ok imiyowa gimoro amora makmana alot gi pi modho.
13 and then observe our faces, and the faces of the children who eat the king’s food, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
Bangʼ mano to ipimwa gi yawuowi mamoko machamo chiemo moa e od ruoth mondo ineane ka bende nitie pogruok, eka itim ne jotichni kaluwore gi gima ineno.”
14 When he had heard these words, he tested them for ten days.
Omiyo ne oyie gi wachno mi otemogi kuom ndalo apar.
15 But, after ten days, their faces appeared better and fatter than all the children who had eaten from the king’s food.
Bangʼ ndalo apargo ndendgi ne ber moloyo mar yawuowi mane chamo chiemo moa e od ruoth.
16 Thereafter, Malasar took away their portions and their wine for drinking, and he gave them roots.
Kuom mano, jaritono ne ok omiyogi chiemb od ruoth kod divai, to ne omiyogi mana alot kende.
17 Yet, to these children, God gave knowledge and instruction in every book, and wisdom, but to Daniel, also the understanding of all visions and dreams.
Nyasaye nomiyo yawuowi angʼwen-go, ngʼeyo gi lony mar winjo tiend kit ndiko duto gi puonjruok. Kendo Daniel ne nigi rieko matut mar loko tiend fweny ka fweny kod lek ka lek.
18 And when the time was completed, after which the king had said that they would be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before the sight of Nebuchadnezzar.
Kane ochopo kinde mane onego ter yawuowigo ir ruoth, jatelo maduongʼ nokelogi e nyim Nebukadneza.
19 And, when the king conversed with them, there had not been found any so great in all the world as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; and so they stood in the sight of the king.
Ruoth nowuoyo kodgi, kendo ne ok oyudo ngʼama ne nyalo romo gi Daniel, Hanania, Mishael kod Azaria, omiyo yawuowi angʼwen-go nochako tiyo ne ruoth.
20 And in every concept of wisdom and understanding, about which the king consulted with them, he found them to be ten times better than all the seers and astrologers put together, who were in his entire kingdom.
E kit rieko duto gi lony kuom winjo tiend weche matek mane ruoth otemogie gi penjo, noyudo ka giriek moloyo ajuoke gi jokor wach duto mane ni e pinyruodhe duto nyadipar.
21 And so Daniel remained, even until the first year of king Cyrus.
Kendo Daniel nodhi nyime katiyo kanyo nyaka higa mokwongo mar loch mar ruoth miluongo ni Sairas.
